The resources below collect guidance for teachers seeking to cultivate instructional habits that boldly address difference and diversity and embody liberatory praxis in the classroom. Categories like race, class, sexuality, gender, ability, etc. intersect complexly in personal, political, and pedagogical spheres. Different course topics and classroom settings may call for greater attention to one particular category over another. As such, the following resources are categorized according to specific pedagogical concerns, with the understanding that these concerns are not mutually exclusive and benefit greatly from intersectional dialogue.
